Plate-and-shell heat exchanger
Plate-and-shell heat exchanger combines the efficiency of plate heat exchanger and the reliability of shell-and-tube heat exchanger. A welded platepack is assemble into a cylindrical shell which creates a flow path(shell side) while the plate pack creates another flow path(plate side). Both shell sideand plate side can be designed as multipass channels. The complete welding results in a gastight unit with no possibility of leaks.
Features:
-Pressure up to 50 bar,
-Temperatures up to 500°C
- Optional fully welded or openable structure
-Materials: stainless steel, SMO254, Alloy C276, Nickel alloy, titanium
Benefits:
-Same performance as plate heat exchanger while reliability as shell and tube
-Excellent operational flexibility and low maintenance costs
- Small dimensions and low weights
-No leakages, environmental protection
